Sorry... As adorshki says, I did post pics.
As for where things stand now, I am not keeping the guitar -- for me. I have, however, laid it down as a challenge for my 25yr old son who has been playing at playing guitar for some time now.
First week of November was our Church's 4th anniversary. One of the few traditions we have is that we play the same 3 songs in church every year on our anniversary that we did the first Sunday we started. My son runs sound for the church. We're small and don't really have a "worship band" nor even a Piano. So, typically, we sing to backing tracks or pre-recorded music.
Every now in then (specifically on the anniversary) we get some folk together and do live music. (I have pics in the mugshot forum of me on that day this year.)
I told my son if he learns to play the three songs we do as the anniversary set, I'll give him the MIM Guild. He's doing pretty well with it now. I figure he might have the Guild by Christmas. And I expect he might even be playing with us at next year's anniversary. Maybe I'll run sound that year!
As for reviews on the Archos, I will try to put something together. It's a nice little guitar for what it is. Perfect for a campfire kind of a guitar. It's not indestructible, but it's less fragile than a vintage D40C. It's sound is a little thinner, I would say. Maybe you could say "Brighter."
I still haven't had it set up officially yet. That would help the playability. But since it's not going to be my guitar, I don't want to set it up for me. He might end up flatpicking or something, and he'll want a different setup if he does. I would say it is definitely worth the price. The electronics are really nice. It sounds pretty good plugged in. All in all, a good investment I think.
Even if probably won't play it much, personally.
